A distinctive approach to transformational coaching
Harthill has a distinctive approach to transformational coaching, grounded in Action Inquiry and the Leadership Development Framework. What that means in practice is that Harthill coaches focus on transforming leadership performance through:
-
heightening awareness and generating a deep understanding of the coachee’s Action Logic – the sense-making frame that underpins a person’s current level of performance
-
having a rigorous understanding of the coachee’s potential to develop beyond their current Action Logic frame and the steps required to support their further development
-
creating multiple ways of seeing complex challenges that coachees face and then developing a range of skills and responses appropriate to dealing with complexity
-
reframing problems and providing radical, innovative, approaches to finding solutions
-
integrating a systems perspective to working with individuals and supporting the coachee in fully embracing their integral role as change leaders.
Conventional coaching is not transformational. Conventional coaching focuses on incremental performance improvement and straightforward problem solving, working within a coachee’s current ways of sense-making. Typically, conventional coaching does not adopt a systemic perspective to change and both narrowly and loosely frames a coachee’s further development in terms of their next potential role.
